In addition, it also results in abdominal pain, swellings around testicles, burning around vagina.

NAAT amongst all is the most sensitive test for detection of Chlamydomonas trachomatis in urine and vaginal swab. It has been approved by FDA for its detection in sample like urine and vaginal swab. In EIA diagnostic tests, (Immunoglobulin G) IgG is significantly used and is capable of detecting the presence of C. trachomatis however in direct immunofluorescence, monoclonal antibodies are used. The nucleic acid hybridization helps in detecting the DNA sequence of the bacteria and thus results in detecting C. trachomatis.
